Douluo III: Legend of the Dragon Phoenix

When Long Chen was mentioned, a hint of regret flashed in the eyes of these few people. This child had excellent talent and they had placed high hopes on him, but unfortunately, he provoked someone he shouldn't have.

He suddenly disappeared a few months ago, and his family has been searching for him ever since without finding a trace. What this means is already self-evident.

As for who did it, they all knew in their hearts, but they wouldn't say it publicly. They would just let the Long family guess.

After a simple discussion, everyone agreed to let Yun Ze participate, partnering with Gu Yue Na, Weng Daimin, Xue Liushuang, and Jian Mochen for the battle.

After the discussion, everyone split up. Since Shrek Academy had taken the initiative to provoke them, they had to give them a grand reception.

In the fifth-floor Library, Yun Ze was reading his book. The moment the main door moved, he sensed it.

"The time isn't right," Yun Ze murmured. No soul tools, including clocks, were allowed on the fifth floor, and there were no instruments to display the time.

So he didn't know the exact time, but he was sensitive to the passage of time. From the moment he entered until now, only about three hours should have passed, not yet the agreed-upon opening time.

He didn't continue reading and walked towards the direction of the main door. These people arriving early likely meant something was up. Xu Lin was about to shout inside. Just as he opened his mouth, before any sound came out, he saw Yun Ze walking out. "Dean, is something the matter?" Yun Ze asked as he approached. "We'd like you to participate in a five-on-five small team battle later. If you win, the academy will give a generous reward," Xu Lin said in a gentle, polite tone. He knew from his younger brother Xu Chuan that Yun Ze was the Young Hall Master of the Dragon Phoenix Hall. With this identity, he naturally wouldn't put on any dean-like airs. "Don't worry, most of them are Soul Venerable cultivation, and only one is a quasi-Soul Elder. Their strength and combat talent should be similar to Long Chen, whom you defeated before," Xu Lin specifically explained. He hadn't met Wu Lin and the others, nor had he seen their battles, but since they were from Shrek and dared to provoke them, their strength was likely not simple, which was why he gave such a high evaluation, considering them geniuses of Long Chen's level.

"Okay," Yun Ze agreed without much thought. This matter was difficult to refuse. From them opening the door early, he knew they really wanted him to participate in this competition.

Choosing to refuse might lead to various persuasions. Rather than that, it was better to agree readily. Yun Ze's quick agreement made Xu Lin and the four directors happy. After closing the door, they took Yun Ze to the preparation room. The so-called preparation room was a certain lounge in the Sun Moon Grand Stadium. When Yun Ze arrived, there were already some people inside. The Director of Education, Duan Jingliang, Gu Yue Na, and three other students Yun Ze didn't recognize, two girls and one boy. "Yun Ze," Gu Yue Na, who had been sitting alone on a sofa, immediately walked up to him when she saw him enter. "Mm," Yun Ze nodded slightly at Gu Yue Na and walked over to sit on the sofa.

The eyes of the three students were all on Yun Ze. They hadn't interacted with Yun Ze, but they all knew his great name. Defeating the Level Forty-One Soul Elder Long Chen with Level Twenty-Two Soul Power made him famous in one battle. It was hard not to know him. It should be mentioned that when that battle happened, the academy didn't know that Yun Ze had such a powerful force behind him. Fearing that the video circulating would bring trouble to Yun Ze, they forcefully suppressed the matter and deleted all videos, so not many people outside knew of Yun Ze's existence. Now, the academy's higher-ups no longer had this worry. With the background of the Dragon Phoenix Hall, Yun Ze's safety didn't require them to worry at all, and there was nothing wrong with him displaying terrifying combat power. "Everyone is here, so I'll talk about the arrangements," Xu Lin also walked into the room, attracting everyone's attention to himself.

"I think you also know who the next opponents are, so I won't repeat it here."

"This upcoming match concerns the academy's honor. If we lose, the academy will lose face and become a laughingstock for the entire Federation."

"Therefore, I hope you will do your best. Aside from not killing, there are no other restrictions."

"We must win this match and let the entire Federation and that Shrek Academy know that our Sun Moon Royal Academy's ground is not something they can just kick around."

"We must let them know that our academy's students are not inferior to theirs. Oh no, I shouldn't say inferior, but rather prove that you are stronger than them!"

Xu Lin's voice became high-pitched towards the end, wanting his passion to infect these children and boost morale.

Xue Liushuang and the other two were indeed stirred up, immediately feeling a heroic spirit of defending the academy's honor, and their sense of honor was aroused.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na's reactions were calm and indifferent. They were completely unaffected by these words and just quietly watched Xu Lin speak passionately.

Xu Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, even getting emotional himself. If the Director of Education hadn't reminded him in time, he would probably have continued his lengthy speech.

"Ahem, that's about all I have to say. Next, you can get to know each other and formulate a strategy," Xu Lin said.

Just as he finished speaking, he thought of something and added, "The five of you will be led by Gu Yue Na. She is the captain, and the others must obey her arrangements."

If Yun Ze were older, he would definitely give this captain position to Yun Ze. It was just a pity that he was still young and not suitable to be a captain.

"Okay," Xue Liushuang and the other two had no objections. They knew Gu Yue Na's abilities.

She was hailed as a soul tool genius rarely seen in ten thousand years, and her Soul Master abilities were also among the best. The only one who could surpass her in talent was probably the six-year-old Yun Ze.

If they were to say who was the strongest in combat among the five, it would undoubtedly be Gu Yue Na. It was said that she could already defeat a five-ring Soul King. With such a strong person as captain, they were naturally convinced and had no dissenting voices.

Yun Ze also had no objection to Gu Yue Na being the captain. In fact, he didn't care who was the captain, feeling it didn't matter as long as they didn't boss him around.

Gu Yue Na subconsciously glanced at Yun Ze. Seeing him smile and nod, she accepted the position of captain without hesitation and introduced herself first:

"Gu Yue Na, Martial Soul Silver Dragon, Level Forty-Four Assault System Battle Soul Elder."

As the cultivation of the Demon God Art became smoother, and after her level increased, her Silver Dragon King origin also began to overflow with energy to assist in cultivation. In these five months, her Soul Power had increased by more than two levels, and this was while also focusing on soul tool research.

Compared to her Soul Power cultivation, her spiritual power increased even faster. Her spiritual points reached over four thousand six hundred. Perhaps soon, her spiritual power would break through to the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Like an abyss, like a prison, the Netherworld, that was a spiritual realm that only Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo, could reach.
